Westminster Adcocate, "and that men,
ber's vote carried the declaration of
war against England"
Commissioner-elect Stern is the re-
cipient of many compliments upon his
card last week, among them the follow
ing paragraph from the Frostburg cor
respondence of the Homecoming Reciew
is worth re-printing:
The card published by Commissioner-elect
Stern in this weeks JOURNAL is about as neat
a thing as we have seen for many day.
His marvellous vote was so much a purely
personal compliment as to make his card of
thanks matter of good taste. Yet he ex-
presses himself in such way as to convey
the idea that the measure of the peoples
trust is but the measure of his own response
bilty. Stern is not only man of business
his literary taste is first class.
